Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic

What the classifiers highlight

Across from the Palais des Festivals staircase on the Croisette, this Art Deco hotel lines its halls with 2,500 black-and-white photographs of past guests. The Majestic Penthouse runs 4,843 square feet with a private pool, butler and home cinema; a second suite was designed by Christian Dior's decorator. Forbes notes the Murano-glass mosaic pool and rates the hotel four stars.
